by donalee Moulton Clinical course in criminal law Where the real world meets law school

What started as an inkling of an idea in 1977

has today become a firmly established part of the curriculum at the Schulich School of Law. The Clinical Course in Criminal Law offers students not only an opportunity to explore legal issues related to this field of practice, but it lets them step outside the Weldon Law Building and into courtrooms, prisons, defence attorneys’ offices —and more. It’s all about timing, says Provincial Court Judge Barbara Beach (‘77). “This course is for third-year students in their final term. They’re hankering to get out in the real world and be lawyers. The course gives them an opportunity to do that.” That closeness is invaluable, says Lesra Martin (‘97), today a partner with Martin & Martin in Kamloops, B.C., and a former student in the program. “This course gives you a flavour for real practice. You interact with clients. You don’t get that anywhere else in law school.”

In the right placement While the components of the Clinical Course in Criminal Law have expanded and changed in the 33 years since the course first appeared in the curriculum, in the winter term of 1979, the vision has remained constant. “This program was built around the concept of experience-based learning, and that has never changed,” says Dick Evans, a former professor of law at Dalhousie and co-instructor of the G RAPHY IEE ARC DALHOUS PHOTO P

Christine McBain makes an appearance in remand court almost daily. It’s part of her work as an articling student with the Brantford Crown Attorney’s Office – and it comes soon after graduating from the Clinical Course in Criminal Law at Dalhousie. The course, she says, helped shape her law career. “This isn’t where I thought I’d be when I entered law school. I wasn’t even sure if I’d practise law,” Christine says. “The clinic was the first time I saw law being practised instead of reading about it in a book.” The criminal law course was one of the last courses she took before graduating, and its impact was significant. “It made me more interested in pursuing a career in this area. It pushed me every day,” notes Christine. She hesitated to sign up for the course, though. “I was really scared to take it. I had a heavy class load, and I hadn’t summered at firms. I had no courtroom experience. This course gave me that.” And then some. The recent graduate notes that the course, which “took over our lives for the last term,” gave her what no other law course had given to this point: a dose of reality. “It gives you a real-world context,” she says. “I’d read about these things in my textbooks in another course, then I’d go to this course and see them first hand. It gave me a holistic view.” There was also personal growth, adds Christine. “The work wasn’t too complicated for me to understand. That was reassuring. This course provided me with confidence. The lawyers I was working with were letting me know I was doing a good job. “It was,” adds Christine, “a stellar way for me to end law school.” •

Clinic Alumnus Lesra Martin (‘97)

Lesra Martin may be most well known for having been instrumental in freeing Rubin “Hurricane” Carter from prison after almost 20 years for three murders the black man from New Jersey had never committed. That story was subsequently turned into a book and a major motion picture starring Denzel Washington. Lesra’s story is equally inspiring, and one of the important footnotes—from­ his point of view—is the Clinical Course in Criminal Law he took while getting his law degree from Dalhousie. “It was very exciting to me,” he says. “I thought it was a great way to bring justice to the community. I thought it was a way of giving back.” Born in Bushwick, New York, one of eight children, Lesra could not read or write by the time he was 15 years old. The road that led to law school was paved with determination and conviction. For Lesra that included a future in criminal law. “I was 100 per cent convinced I would practise criminal law,” he says. And he did. After working with a Vancouver law firm as a defence attorney, he served as a Crown Prosecutor in Kamloops. But the heavy caseload coupled with his equally demanding travel schedule had Lesra looking for another path to follow. So he and his wife, Cheryl, started their own firm specializing in civil litigation, personal injury, wills and estates, and real estate transactions. But Lesra says that what he learned in the criminal law clinic is still relevant today as a civil litigator. “It gave me an understanding that legal work is really a service-based industry. You can lose sight of that in school. In the clinic, that is understood.” “The course,” he adds, “should be part of the curriculum for all law students.” •

E RM When Jim Igloliorte signed up for the Clinical Course in Criminal Law, he knew before the course even began it would help him in his job—as a provincial magistrate. Jim, a former high school teacher and vice principal, was one of several lay magistrates appointed by NT E D W I TH P I the government of Newfoundland and Labrador, many of whom went on to take this PR course en route to getting their law degree from Dalhousie. But it wasn’t only practical considerations that spurred Jim to take the criminal law course. He was itchy to do something different as graduation approached. “Having spent three years in law school that required a lot of classroom work and time in the library, I wanted something hands on,” Jim says. He got what he wanted, and more. “This course offered me an opportunity to see a unique perspective,” says Jim. “It reflected life experience. We got to roll up our sleeves. That’s a great deal of what happens.” “It’s a breath of fresh air,” he adds. “After the intensity of law school, if you get a chance to apply your learning, you start to see linkages.” Jim put that newfound understanding to practice after graduating with his LL.B. from Dal in 1985, the same year he became circuit judge for all of Labrador, a role he held until 1993. Following this, Jim spent three years serving Corner Brook and the Northern Peninsula. He retired in 2004, but his connections with the law and with justice remain strong. Most recently, Jim served as Chief Commissioner of the Qikiqtani Truth Commission investigating relocations and other decisions made by the Canadian government from 1950 to 1975 that dramatically affected Inuit culture, their economy, and their way of life. •

Bottom: Judge Felix Cacchione (‘74) (‘74), then a defence lawyer and today a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. One of the first instructors in the course, Judge Cacchione continues his involvement today by presiding over the mock trial. Professor Evans applauds the work and expertise of the three instructors at the helm of the course today. “The program is being operated by an extraordinarily experienced team that brings an incredible knowledge of the frontline of the criminal justice system. It’s a remarkable team,” he says. In addition to Judge Beach, who has been a co-instructor in the program since 1987, there is James Gumpert, Q.C., (‘75) and Stanley MacDonald, Q.C. (‘87). Jim, who was called to the bar in 1975, is a senior prosecutor at the Nova Scotia Public Prosecution Service. Stan, called to the bar in 1988, is a partner in the Halifax law firm Garson, MacDonald. Together they are continuing the tradition that has become the Clinical Course in Criminal Law. That tradition is helping lawyers learn about more than the law itself. The course, notes Cheryl Martin, “really opened our eyes to the system of law, to how you interact, and your impact on the system.” •

Clinic Alumnus Cheryl Martin (‘98)

When Cheryl Martin enrolled in law school, she had a sense of what a law practice was about, having worked as a legal secretary. “In my first year of law school, I though how unrealistic it all was.” The Clinical Course in Criminal Law, she says, provided her with a much-needed taste of reality. “It gave me the opportunity to see the workings of the justice system. We really go into this program not knowing what the practice of law really is.” Today Cheryl practises in the area of wills and estates, and real estate transactions in Kamloops, where she has lived for more than a decade with her husband, Lesra Martin. That practice reflects her interest in and her approach to practising law, and Cheryl credits the criminal law clinic with enhancing her understanding of both. “In this course,” she says, “you get to hone in on what you’re comfortable with in terms of your own style—and you get real feedback from the instructors. It helped me learn about myself.” And it wasn’t all nose to the grindstone, she adds. “The instructors made it fun. They took the stress away. They reminded us to breathe.” Deeply. •

The Townships Project

n November, 1998, as Martha Deacon (‘77) told Hearsay, she

attended the eighth assembly of the World Council of Churches

in Harare, Zimbabwe at the invitation of a friend, former

Senator Lois Wilson. On the way she stopped in South Africa,

where the visits to Black townships revealed horrific poverty.

Her life changed in Soweto as she saw photos from June 16,

1976, the day 12-year-old Hector Pieterson was shot to death

during a peaceful protest over the imposition of Afrikaans as

a medium of instruction in township schools. The anger and

tragedy of that day had changed the course of South African

history, marking the beginning of the end of apartheid.

Later, in Harare, Dr. Nelson Mandela, then President of ISouth Africa, issued a challenge to those attending the assembly to do something about poverty in his country. Martha

took the challenge to heart. She was familiar with the work of

economist Muhammad Yunus, who would win the Nobel

Peace Prize eight years later with the Grameen Bank. Yunus

And the good thing to Vancouver to an articling position about Dal Law School when I started was kindly arranged by Frank Covert (’29). that the classes were quite small and you got to know everybody in the school.

Professors appointed professors emeriti

According to famed university basketball coach Abe Lemons, “The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.” That sentiment is personified by Professor Hugh Kindred and Professor John Yogis, who have been appointed Professors Emeriti by Dalhousie University for their outstanding contributions to the law school, both during their careers and post-retirement. by Michael Deturbide, Associate Dean

Professor John Yogis was integral to the development and teaching of a legal research and writing course at the law school, and was the co-author of what for many years was the leading Canadian text on legal research. He also taught international law, contract law and wills, and served as Associate Dean for most of the 1990s. Professor Yogis exemplifies the Weldon tradition of unselfish public service. Many community organizations have benefited from his considerable talents, especially in the arts. John is the law school’s unofficial archivist; his knowledge of the school’s past and traditions is extraordinary. He continues his dedication to the law school, as editor of the alumni publications Hearsay and The Ansul.

Professor Hugh Kindred is an internationally recognized scholar in maritime, commercial, and international law. He was the coordinator of the report to Transport Canada on the future of Canadian carriage of goods by water law, and an advisor on the resulting Carriage of Goods by Water Act. He has continued to teach at the law school in the field of international trade and shipping, and in the graduate seminar. He is also continuing his research on a team project, funded by the SSHRC, on extraterritorial jurisdiction.

The title of Professor Emeritus is an honour awarded by the Board of Governors on the recommendation of the President and Dean, to retired individuals who have made superlative contributions as a professor in their discipline at Dalhousie University. Congratulations, Professor Yogis and Professor Kindred. May your relationships with the law school continue for many more years.

OUR GENEROUS DONORS >>

Bold Ambitions: In 2006 Dalhousie launched the Bold Ambitions Campaign, which was a commitment to secure the future of the entire university, including the Schulich School of Law. The University’s goal by 2013 is huge: to raise $250 million in a university-wide campaign.

And the Schulich School of Law has set a lofty goal as well. Within the Bold Ambitions Campaign, we have raised over $7.2 million towards our campaign priorities and an additional $20 million thanks to a transformational gift of Seymour Schulich. And we need your help to raise another $5 million. We are delighted with our success so far and are grateful for the gener- osity of our alumni and friends and the companies they work for­ who helped make this possible. The following is an acknowledgement of the gifts made and is one small way we are able to say

“thank you.” We also wish to thank our supporters who wish to remain anonymous. *
